Brasília – Federal Public Debt (DPF, acronym in Portuguese), which includes Brazil’s internal and external debt – increased by 1.15% in nominal terms in March compared to February this year, as reported this Friday (26) by the National Treasury Secretary of the country’s Ministry of Economy.
Debt stock reached BRL 3.8973 trillion (USD 980 billion) last month. The increase was due to a BRL 8.7 billion (USD 2.2 billion) net issuance (more issues than share buy-backs) and a BRL 35.72 billion (USD 8.98 billion) positive interest appropriation (when debt interests are incorporated in total every month).
